The Juniors are planning their reception for the Seniors, to take place April 18. They say it is going to be 4 ‘different ’ this year. More power to them. It won’t be so very long before our annual, The Keen Keener, will be on sale. Did you order yours? In Literature class, the Freshmen have been writing ballads. Yes, they are real ones, they rhyme and have perfect meters. Each ballad relates

an interesting story having a tragie ending. The Seniors want to thank the people for their attendance and attention at their class play, “Here Comes the Prince.” Also, a special thank-you to those who helped make the play a success, namely, the musicians and Burk's Beauty Shop, who, through their courtesy, gave the hair dresses.
